Adoption Support in East Sussex

Are you adopted and looking for a specialist in this area? Or are you looking at adopting and would like some adoption support in East Sussex or wherever you live? My name is Louise Shuttleworth and I can help you.

I am an approved DDP practitioner and LINK Barnados therapist (a legal requirement to offer therapy within the field of adoption). I am a specialist and can offer both therapeutic and attachment focused therapy to individuals and family members who have chosen to adopt. In this way, I understand in depth the complexity of issues that surrounds adoption.

I can offer you whatever therapy is required; whether it is parental support, child therapy or even teenage counselling – the choice is yours. I am currently working either face to face with my clients in East Sussex or online via Zoom, Facetime, WhatsApp – whatever works for you best.

There are many complexities with adoption and my aim is to make it a smoother transition for you all.

Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy

To support this type of work, I completed this extensive training and now a full practitioner as a Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) and have trained in Theraplay Level one and two and have completed the practicum to become a full practitioner in 2020. Both trainings offer you as parents practical and understanding of the pathway to greater connection.
